So has our planet. Edited and introduced by the twenty-fourth Poet Laureate of the United States, Ada Lim?n, this book challenges what we think we know about \"nature poetry,\" illuminating the myriad ways our landscapes--both literal and literary--are changing.\u003ci\u003eYou Are Her\u003c\/i\u003ee features fifty previously unpublished poems from some of the nation's most accomplished poets, including Joy Harjo, Diane Seuss, Rigoberto Gonz?lez, Jericho Brown, Aimee Nezhukumatathil, Paul Tran, and more. Each poem engages with its author's local landscape--be it the breathtaking variety of flora in a national park, or a lone tree flowering persistently by a bus stop--offering an intimate model of how we relate to the world around us and a beautifully diverse range of voices from across the United States.Joyful and provocative, wondrous and urgent, this singular collection of poems offers a lyrical reimagining of what \"nature\" and \"poetry\" are today, inviting readers to experience both anew.\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eAda Limón is the twenty-fourth U.S. Poet Laureate as well as the author of \u003cem\u003eThe Hurting Kind \u003c\/em\u003eand five other collections of poems.
